I am 8 days post op. i saw my surgeon on Thursday as i am still in lot of pain/pressure and still screaming after bm . he prescribed mire tramodol along with torodol and a diltiazem cream. he also extended my sick leave until oct 1st. he said if pain no better in 2 weeks to see him again.

i find the only thing that remotely helps is sitting in sitz bath. i feel im one step forward 2 back. my question is when dies the pain/pressure get easier and go away?

    hi my dear that is normal i had my surgery august 7. i a little over a month post op. when i saw the surgeon the week after i was feeling the same as you are now. it does get better. i was in your shoes a dew weeks ago. in agony just thinking i cant take it no more. the sitz bathes are the best. also what gave me comfort is an over the counter cream that you can find in walgreens . its called recticare. it has helped me alot. i would recommend you give it a try. i returned to work after being out 3 weeks and trust me it has been a struggle. just trying to find a routine that works. bes t thong is to rest at this point

    thank you so much for replies; i had started to wonder if everything was normal.

    i am also suffering from minor leakage which the surgeon said was normal, it feels disgusting to me but he said it should clear up
